Hoping to be surprised by a Wells' resurgence. After all, Vernon is in much better shape than Boomer, and he only has to play regularly until Granderson returns. <fingers crossed while invoking the Magic of Pinstripes>

There will be, with 100% certainty, at least a week...five or so games...where he will catch fire and a billion people will scream about him shafting the Jays and the Angels. Then the world will return to normal.

Here's what I'm worried about:

Wells has a great two months, hits .330 with 8 or 9 homers. Girardi mixes him into the lineup regularly the rest of the season, and he goes back to normal, but his overall line looks pretty good after the first two months.

The Yankees decide to let Granderson walk and make Wells their every day LF in 2014.

Shafting the Jays? Only if that 5 game hot stretch includes a 4 game series against them. Otherwise, what would Wells have to do to make them regret saving 80 million with the trade? Hit .425 with 75 homers?

For the Angels, all he'd have to do is hit .270/.320/.480 or something like that and a lot of people will think if he could have just done that for 2011-2012, they'd have 1 or 2 more playoff appearances.

This is like a wet dream for Phil, Jose, Dale, Ray and all the other Sox fans here....
